Why RAT Won 
Why Rat Won is a creation myth, how and why the Chinese have a Zodiac. About 6,000 years ago or longer a need to order the days was important. People saw light and dark as a day, and a month by the size of the moon, and a year by the seasons, but now to manage dates to know when something happened. Rat and eleven other animals help in the naming of 12 years in the assets of fire, light, water, mental and earth to make 5 circles making 60, then starts new. PLUS, the traits of the animals are loaded with personality to help us understand relationships, from matching partners in marriages, and what personality is and will become.
